Michigan Trails and Greenways Alliance

The Michigan Trails and Greenways Alliance has led the way in converting the state's abandoned railroad corridors to trails and has made Michigan a recognized national leader in rail-trail conversions. The goal of the Alliance is to create the Discover Michigan Trail, a proposed statewide trail system largely using abandoned railroad right of ways. Toward that end, the Alliance works to educate, advocate locally, provide technical assistance, support state and local legislation and establish policy and planning regarding rail-trails.
